Richard Herring, APN Outdoor Chief Executive Officer commented, “The introduction of XtrackTV is an Australian industry and worldwide first at this scale which we are immensely proud of. Nobody does rail as well as APN Outdoor, and with the introduction of XtrackTV, we will see an industry step change when it comes to platform advertising.

“Not only will our advertisers now have the flexibility to change their messages throughout the day, they can also extend their TV campaigns by repurposing their TVC creative and using it again on XtrackTV. Additionally, having the ability to incorporate video and audio into platform campaigns will be a game-changer for winning consumer attention. ”
